Many workplaces in Australia have staff members impacted by some form of addiction, whether this be substance or activity based. As well as affecting those suffering from an addiction, fellow co-workers, colleagues, and management can also experience some serious consequences.
​
Tackling other’s addictions can be controversial, uncomfortable and easy to ignore. Whilst companies may have policies in place to deal with an employee's addiction, their colleagues can find that they are ill-equipped or unskilled in dealing with the issues.
At Dovetail, our overall objective is to provide addiction education services, including training, specific skills and resources, for attendees to positively engage and support their teams affected by behaviours stemming from all types of addiction.
Some of the favourable outcomes include:
​
-
Happier people and less stress
-
Productive teams and strengthened relationships
-
Less distractions and improved efficiency
-
Increased wellbeing and support
